public. >> rick santorum called mitt romney a liar in his ohio speech, flexing his muscles and he flexed his muscles literally tweeting himself this picture in the high school gym before taking the stage. hogan gidley is joining us, the man who speaks truth to power, hogan, thank you for joining us. >> thank you, alex and thank you for the time. >> hogan, i know that your candidate is going after mitt romney, is it not newt gingrich who is his enemy for the foreseeable future? >> no, they are not enemies. the factory mains that we would never call on anybody to get out of the race, whether you decide to run for office or get out of the race is a personal choice, but if you look at the polls we would be up by large margins in some of these states in newt gingrich was out of the the race. so the fact is there, if you were not in the race, we would be obviously taking it to romney pretty good at this point of course but that is politics and that is where we are. >> to be straight, you are not calling for newt gingrich to exit the race, but you are saying it's not a bad thing if he did? >> t

not only for michigan, but for ohio and any state where autos are produced or auto parts are produced. it's a great story. this industry is alive today because of president obama's decisive action and i think that's the story we ought to applaud and celebrate and to draw the contrast between what the president had planned and what mr. romney and other republican candidates would have done had they been in the oval office when the auto industry was in need of this kind of help. >> let's talk about that. i want to put a graphic here on the screen from "the new york times" op-ed by mr. rattner here. he said quote the gist is that the government should have stayed on the sidelines and allowed the companies to go through what he calls managed bankruptcy. financed by private capital. that sounds sensible, except that it's utter fantasy. michael steele, is that utter fantasy? >> it's not. you have the tale of two automakers at the same time with ford and gm comparatively difficult positions during the height of this economic downturn and how both came through it. the problem with the gm stor
